Bench With a View of Overbury

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very close to Overbury - village, which leads walkers and cyclist to a tarmac (mostly) road to Bredon Hill. So, it's worth taking a break if you feel tired.

Parsons Folly on Bredon Hill

Highlight • Monument

Historic Bredon Hill stands proud in isolation. From its 981-foot (299 m) summit you can gaze out across Worcestershire to the Malverns and south into the rolling Cotswolds. Scenic magnificence.

The hill was once an Iron Age hillfort, known as Kemerton Camp and it then became an important Roman encampment. In the 18th century, the squire of Kemerton Court erected a small stone tower, Parsons Folly. A number of ancient standing stones also adorn the hill.

Elephant Stone (Banbury Stone)

Highlight • Natural

Also known as the Banbury Stone, there is conjecture about the exact origin of the Elephant Stone. Some believe it to be an ancient focus for the dark arts, others say it was a type of amber stone dedicated to the sun by druids. There's also a superstition that if you kiss the stone on Good Friday you will be cursed with bad luck.
